Thanks to smarter grids and better software, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems are turning parked EVs into mini power plants. (AZO CleanTech)
Utilities say coordinated V2G charging could cut peak demand by up to 20% and lower system costs by 10–15%. Studies also suggest integrating EV fleets into smart grids could boost renewable utilization by nearly 30%
States like California and regions across Europe are pushing for bidirectional charging standards and incentives. But gaps in regulation, cybersecurity, and public awareness are still slowing things down.
